Choosing the right dishes

Which material for which use?

Porcelain suits dining-room service and stands up well to intensive use. Glass, found at Arcoroc and Bormioli Rocco, showcases appetizers and is dishwasher safe. Stainless steel is valued for its sturdiness in the kitchen and at buffets. Match the material to how often it will be used and to the look you want.

Oven and dishwasher safe?

For dishes that go from oven to table, check the oven compatibility stated by the manufacturer. Pillivuyt's culinary porcelain withstands these uses, while some Ramekin & small dish items are suited to individual baking. Most references are dishwasher safe, a useful criterion in service.

What size for how many covers?

Choose the capacity of a Salad bowl or a Soup tureen according to the number of guests to serve. For buffets, large Presentation dishes make generous service easier. Also consider stackability and storage for professional use.

Table or buffet presentation?

For a buffet or display, Cake stands and presentation dishes enhance preparations. Glass Appetizer pieces add depth to the aperitif. Coordinate shapes and colours with the rest of your tableware plates for a consistent setting.
